I arrived home Sunday from what we thought would be a relatively uneventful 2 hour operation on my fractures Friday. I’ve had a challenge on and off with unfavorable oxygen saturation readings and I have a pulmonary function test in early August set up for that. From my understanding, it started dropping and caused much concern. Glad I was out for that. When I came too, they tried everything in their bag of tricks to get it into the 90’s percentile wise and decided to keep me until it was consistently stable. Aaarrrgggh! It’s a new hospital and I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered an omelet for each breakfast which I picked out ingredients for. So fresh, tasty and hot. All of the food was great including the bourbon glazed salmon dinner my sister brought from Cheddars. My favorite. I can already tell the surgery was successful. It feels so much better.

The head anesthesiologist said I have some underlying disease or disorder of the pulmonary system and the function test will be important. I agree. Clueless as to what it could be though.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
